Bradl and Baz are likely to be on Kayaba suspension next year, that is what Suzuki used to use, although Bradl is not happy. I'm not sure if Avintia will be sticking with Showa when get the full Ducati package.
With White Power becoming more prominent in Moto2 looking good for more competition, although this goes against Dorna's single supplier buying power ethos, it may make Ohlins think again about their high costs.
I have never really rated Laverty, he didn't do brilliantly against riders on comparative machinery in 250, but I hope I am proved wrong and comes good.

Makes me laugh people who say they are fans but don't want to pay for the privilege.
Dorna didn't kill off WSB it was dead and the reason why Dorna was appointed to run it, Flamini did NOT sell it, they gave all but 7% (of nothing) to Infront. They were forced out.
It was Flamini who put on free web coverage, guess what? The TV companies stopped buying it, you cannot sell something that you can get for free. Then Flamini did a crazy 5 year exclusive deal with Eurosport, this included web viewing as well, Dorna have worked a part way out of it., so now you have web viewing. Someone said it doesn't work, well I paid €80 for the season and never had a problem, so either your access needs upgrading or stop trying to get it for free.
Did the moaners go to a race in the dying days of IMS? It was embarrassing as was the TV coverage. It takes time to recover something that was on a downward spiral for years, ask yourself something, would anyone give away 93% of a business that is thriving?

Shrimpling:
I read an Interview with Gigi Dall'Igna somewhere where he confirmed Yonny has been on the Factory bike all year... They changed their mind about running him on the Open GP13 when they got their special concessions.
I wish I could remember which site the interview was on!

Yonny is on a GP13 running factory concessions.
Next year him and Petrucci will be on the 14.2

Evolution:
We'll see. And Yes MM can win more titles not only MM but anyone can win
titles but Anyone who will win the title he will need a Repsol Bike and
that is what Motogp is all about now. Give anyone Repsol and he will be
a Champ. Thats the fact! And plz don't give example of DP.

Evolution:
Yes i said Vr would win in Motegi becoz he looks strong in QP actually
he was Damn strong in QP but in race Jlo proved that Motegi belongs to
him.

Time also to be smart, A GP is about 165 minutes of practice not 15 minutes of qualifying, about 15 minutes of FP4 is about what they use to set up for QP. The info is available for all to see and this weekend particular you could see Lorenzo was above everyone else, in the race just did what he needed to do to stay ahead.
There is a strong chance of MM becoming champ next year what ever level the Yamaha is at.

Edfummi: There's still a record he hasn't broken: finish on the podium every single race, just like vale did in 03.
Now imagine how tough it is to do that!! And don't start on the he didn't have competition stuff. Being on the podium every single race is a rare accomplisment and is most likely never to be duplicated!!!

As there were only 16 races that year it has been duplicated twice by Lorenzo, once by Stoner and once by Marquez.. Doohan has achieved it as well.
Ago won every race in a season 6 times (ok 2 championships in the same season), now thats an achievement if you don't want to count the number of races.

PattyC: hat a DAMN STRANGE victory celebration. Really awkward and forced. Stop it Marc. You're not a spontaneous kind o' guy.Why does EVERYONE try to be like Rossi? Just be proud of yourself, and move on for Pete's sake.

Seems somebody did their homework on this and the celebration had some meaning to it, the samurai was representative of a general called Honda Tadakatsu.

When your first road race ever is in a 250 GP throws you in at the deepend a bit, ok he got lapped but in modern days people would say, 'yes but he was on a private spec RS'. I can't remember if it was Schmid or Cardus that called him an 'fin slow Frenchman' and 'foff back to Motox', I think they regretted saying it eventually.
